SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 478,646, dated July 12, 1892.

Application filed August 13 1891. Serial No. 402,591- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SAMUEL S. SENCEN- BAUGH and ALBERT J. IVES, citizens of the United States, residing at Aurora, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrella-Stands, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is a side elevation. Fig. 2 isatop view of one of the brackets; and Fig. 3 is a detail, being a vertical section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Our invention relates to stands adapted to be used for supporting umbrellas, canes, or similar articles; and the object of our invention is to provide a novel stand in which umbrellas or canes may be placed to display them to good advantage. We accomplish this object as hereinafter specified, and as illustrated in the drawings. 1

That which we regard as new will be pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, A indicates the base of the stand, B a rod perpendicularly supported by said base, and C brackets which are supported upon said rod. The brackets 0 maybe of any desired number and consist of a central ring or disk D, around the periphery of which are secured rings E, which are adapted to receive the umbrellas or canes. The outer portions of the rings E are connected and supported by an outer ring F. The disk D, rings E, and

ring F may be cast integral with each other, if desired, or they may be made in separate parts and firmly united together. The disk D is provided at its center with a hole G, which is adapted to fit upon the rod B. A set-screw H is provided, whereby the bracket may be secured at any desired height upon the rod.

I indicates sockets, depressions, or recesses formed in the disk D, as best shown in Fig. 3, which recesses are adapted to receive the ferrules at the lower end of the umbrellas or canes. Umbrellas or similar articles are placed in the stand byinserting them through one of the rings E from above and placing the lower end of the umbrella in one of the recesses I in the next lower bracket, when it will be firmlysupported upon the stand. By adjusting the diiterent brackets at different distances from each-other upon the rod 13 the inclination of the article supported by the stand may be varied at pleasure.

That which we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with a base A and an upright supporting-rod B, of aseries of brackets 0, arranged on the rod one above the other and each composed of a disk D, formed with sockets I, and a central tubular portion G, through which the supporting-rod extends, and a series of rings E, connected with and arranged round the socketed disk, said sockets of one disk serving to receive and retain the ends of umbrellas or canes held by the rings of an upper bracket, substantially as described.
